A Russian military-transport aircraft, identified as an Il-76, crashed at Severnyy airport in Ivanovo, northeast of Moscow, after catching fire in the sky. The incident, which resulted in black smoke visible from the airport, was confirmed by the Russian Defence Ministry to have been caused by the ignition of one of the plane's engines. Preliminary reports suggest the aircraft crashed on the grounds of a cemetery, initially believed to be carrying 12 people, but later confirmed to have 15 people on board, all of whom are feared dead. Russian authorities have confirmed that there are no survivors from the crash. Local media and various sources have provided footage and reports on the disaster.
Itay Chen, the 19-year-old dual Israeli-U.S. citizen who was one of six U.S. citizens thought to have still been held alive in Gaza, was actually killed on Oct. 7, the IDF announced today.
